Hi I’m Rick Shiels, welcome to my channel RickShielsPGAGolf. This YouTube channel is designed to help you play better golf, also to help you enjoy your golf more!
I specialise in golf club reviews, golf club unboxing, golf club news, golf club head to heads, and all about golf clubs.
I also want to make you play better golf by providing coaching video on all topics about golf, how to fix your slice, fix your hook, help you drive the golf ball longer, hit your irons more pure, hit your irons closer to the hole and help you draw and fade your golf shots.
I will also help you lower your score by chipping better by stopping you duff and thin chips, pitch the ball closer and also create backspin. Also I will provide you help to putt better and hole more putts!
On this channel I also make fun and entertaining golf content based on crazy and sometimes “gimmicky” golf clubs. I like to cut through the marketing hype about products and I like to give you the honest truth about golf equipment.
If you enjoy the channel make sure you hit subscribe and also tap the notification bell so that you are always notified when I release a new video.

You need to zoom into the video of the 6 putts you missed. Several made really late deviations in the same spot. Either they had massive side spin. Or your surface has a flaw from hitting clubs off the surface.
Maybe you need to use a different hole.
The best putting advice I ever heard was from Nick faldo. Line the ball up slightly towards the toe from center, and you'll never pull the ball again. It works for me. Playing the ball just slightly to the toe of my center shafted club, gives a more stable look to the eye.
I feel like TaylorMade's "truss" hosel would work well with the OZ
Lab invented a 20 year old odyssey
I switched from a scotty cameron blade to the oz.1 and instantly felt a difference. I love my lab!
Hard to make putts when your mat is inconsistant and you take the putter out to in.
Didn’t you pay £2000 for a putter fitting?
Every non-balanced putter will twist when you hit the ball. You only notice off center hits on that putter because center hits don't twist on this one.
That floor is a crooked as a green 😂
I used to think a golf bag with £2000 worth of clubs was expensive. I think it's very nearly possible to have that from 2 clubs these days.
The hardest part of getting used to these putters seems to be trying not to manipulate the face. If you rock your shoulders and let the putter work, it's about as automatic as it gets. As golfers we put too much stock in looks over performance.
The mat isn’t near flat close to the hole
Fresh dye job on that beard I see.
If tiger used the same putter his whole career then that says to me find something that works for you and stick with it! I got fitted for a seemore putter a few years ago will never change from it I love it!
Putting mat making those balls move all over the place there Rick
I’ve noticed with Lab putters you should be paying extra for the upgraded shafts. Absolutely huge difference between not paying extra to paying for the upgraded shafts. And depending on why type of putter you are selecting that right head weight is vital
Rick misses 6 putt, hits the same bad line every time. Is confused
LAB putters are by far the best at not twisting when you miss the center…I have seen it demonstrated and have done it myself but as is your new persona you have gone off base because of your arrogance
Thumbs up for the early call😂😂
Took me about a month to get used to my df3. Now In love.
If I recall, Tigers’ putter has a indent at the center of the putter from hitting the same spot his whole career. It is funny that you watch professional billards and the precision hitting the cue ball they have. I think a lot of golfers lack a good pre shot routine for putting. That’s why the mirror work is important. There have been many great putters that use different style putters.
Come on down to the wake and bacon chain of lakes. I got a dock but no boat.
Anyone looking at these putters should have a look at the new smith works sync putters
I just started working as a club fitter, so I’m still learning about all of the technology, but I avoid LABs like the plague. They fly off the shelves, so it’s hard to find the one that you want, but if you try to order one, it takes 2+ months to show up. Plus that price tag is just ludicrous for something that doesn’t even look good at address. If you’re looking for a more face balanced option, get a double bend Spider, and save $200.
From my perspective, putters are very much a "what works for you" product. Some people, Peter Finch for example, absolutely hate center shafted putters, and even with one like the LAB they'd not like using it. When reviewing a putter, I think the most important factors to focus on are build quality, feel, and consistency. When you missed those 6 in a row; they almost followed the exact same line, showing a very consistent roll. While it may not be a great putter for you, that shows that it is a high-quality putter.
Sorry no putter is worth more than 50 bucks.
They’re made for straight back straight through. A little arc like me you want a Scotty.
I wasn't a believer. But man oh man. I have not 3 putted in 5 rounds. And I'm dropping puts from unbelievable distances!
No Taylor made has the new spider zero torque coming out
Great video, Rick. But I think your putting surface needs replaced or serviced. Some of the rolls were not true.
Floor needs to be rolled. 😊
Once you play one, you'll wonder why in the hell hasn't everyone been building putters like this all along.
Its crazy just watching them from the beginning to now, honestly it's about how stable it feels bring it back similar to the spider.
Using a LAB putter just screams “I’m shit at putting and I think spending money will make me better”
It’s like wearing a clown wig while on the course.
That putter mat leans left for sure…
The way you say “putter” is wild man
“Powtuh “
It’s putter
I just picked up a centre shafted argolf pendragon putter. Give that a test. It rivals LAB in my opinion. Amazing club.
Ricks feedback: “when I don’t hit the center of the putter, I miss the putt”😂 shocker
It's the rossie
Go with the Odyssey Square 2 Square Jailbird, cheaper and better looking.
As all things should be
Rick have you tried the Link1?
They're made in my home state maybe 1 hour from me, it's one reason I wanted to give LAB a try after loving my Bettinardi & Evnroll. I went with the Link L.A.B. Mainly I like the look a lot & I hit it well. Today's first time on course with it, let's see. I do like the OZ1.i too might have to take a drive down to their HQ & try it
Would be cool if you had one of those putting launch monitor things to get some numbers and compared it with your Ping rick
I bought a df 3 last year and it's been a godsend for me! I tried the Oz and I didn't enjoy it as much. I have friends that really like it though.
thank god its the standard length.
